Jude Eden: Boston Terror & The Cover-Up President

Obama’s flimsy response to terror and violence shouldn’t be a
surprise.

April 16, 2013

The only thing more sickening than yesterday’s terrorist attack
on Boston is Barak Obama’s response to it, and the knowledge that
nothing will really be done unless it is despite this administration.
It was a terrorist attack regardless of who is responsible because the
terror tactic of bombing – to maim and kill as many as possible – was
used. This is not jumping to conclusions as Obama told us we should not
do, it is a factual description, one he himself could not bring himself
to give yesterday.
It was over three hours from when the bombs went off before our
President addressed the nation, mustering as much emotion as if he were
folding socks. Let me be clear. We know what to expect from
this excuse for a chief executive. His response to terrorist Nadal
Hassan’s massacre of unarmed men and women in a gun-free zone
while screaming “Allahu Akhbar!!!” was to call it workplace violence.
He didn’t want us to jump to conclusions then either. That was a
terrorist attack by a Jihadist, a coward too gutless to meet our brave
military on the field of battle. That he is still awaiting trial is a national disgrace.
We got a similarly cold and monotone response to that preventable
horror of Benghazi where our ambassador and the Americans defending him
were brutally tortured and murdered, along with the empty promise that
the perps would be brought to justice. We’re still waiting. The fact
that some are entertaining the idea that Hilary Clinton could be the
2016 presidential nominee, blood freshly on her hands and arrogant in
the face of questions rightly asked of her, is a testament not only to
the newly titled “low-information voter,” but the deep extent of the
media’s complicity. Today’s voters wouldn’t be nearly so low-info if America’s so-called journalists would do their jobs: report and ask hard questions. They are not doing so with regard to Boston either. To them, Tea Partiers who commit no acts of violence are just as likely suspects as the Jihadists who always use terror. This administration has been cultivating this belief system for many years now. It is perfect Saul Alinsky.
Obama’s flimsy response to terror and violence shouldn’t be a
surprise. The college buddy of domestic terrorists Bill Ayers and
Bernadine Dorn is quite comfortable with such tactics if they suit his
revolutionary ends. He had no chastisement for the property-destroying,
flea-infested, anti-Semitic rapists of the Occupy movement. He understood
them. He praised the violent and militant uprisings in Egypt that
ousted our ally and peace-keeper with Israel, Mubarak. He supported the
violent and illegal overthrow of Qaddafi, now replaced by more militant
extremists. With such tendencies and sympathies, a stance against
terror rings pretty hollow.
Further, Obama has given our enemies – the enemies of freedom
worldwide who use terror tactics as a rule – weapons, tanks and planes.
He has invited the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood to the White House. He
has been silent on their crimes against humanity and those of their
home countries, Islamic theocracies that condone the subjugation,
mutilation, rape, and murder of women, children and gays. And the media
just cannot bring themselves to contrast his sidling up to these
monsters while claiming support of gays in America.
What Saul Alinsky taught has chaos at its roots – cause chaos,
destroy the system – any system (and any system thereafter – it is a
game of perpetual uprising and demolition). How do you do this in a
country where the citizens revel in self-reliance, the rule of law,
strength and success? You destroy the basis of its strength, starting
with the family unit. You say all lifestyles are equal, abortion is a
right and label anyone who thinks killing babies is wrong as an
extremist. You indoctrinate and control children through government
schools – you tell parents it takes a village. You bully and feminize
the men who would otherwise lead – you do it in the name of faaaaaaairness.
You defame those with a higher faith so that others will not want to
ascribe to faith, and they will be more easily controlled. You
undermine law enforcement so that people don’t trust cops and assume
they are racist and corrupt. You stigmatize the one set of heroes in
the population who fights to protect the rest – the military. You tell
the people that returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are the most
likely terrorists so that everyday citizens will fear them. You don’t
allow real terrorists to be called what they are. You defend the most
violent, racist, misogynistic, homophobic religion on the planet. You
call it a religion of peace. You repeal DADT and then anyone harassed or
assaulted by his fellow soldier is just a homophobe whose career will
soon be over. You put women into combat units where the high standards
will have to be lowered to accommodate them, and between the two
policies you weaken and dilute the greatest fighting force the world
has ever seen. Then you tell the people it is too dangerous for them to
be able to defend themselves with guns. You tell them they should give
up that right.
And when a bomb hits, who will the people turn to?Let me be clear. The State, cold and detached much like Obama
himself, will be there, dictating, with their press lapdogs telling you
terrorism is over and the economy is swell. They will tell you whom to
suspect of violence – Tea Partiers who have no record of violence.
They will punish you for suspecting Jihadists and their long history of
violence.
If we are able to pull through this, if we are able to turn this
reality around, it won’t be because of any help from Obama and his
administration – it will be in spite of them. It will be because we
replace them with better servants of the people. Luckily we are still
fighting to keep our Constitutional rights, to preserve life, marriage,
family, our livelihoods, we still respect our veterans and law
enforcement and we still look to them to protect us. But we are
fighting tooth and nail and the outcome is anything but certain.
In Boston yesterday, the emergency responders, law enforcement, the
doctors and nurses treating the wounded, and the just-everyday-people
who helped those in need, they are the silver rays in this dark scene.
Their existence is what shows us that our faith in humanity should still
burn bright, that we must keep fighting. My heart breaks for those who
lost loved ones, for those who were wounded and suffered the trauma of
this attack. I am sick about it. Boston is close to my heart. It was
where my mom and grandparents grew up, where my parents met, where my
brother was born. I’m glad it didn’t harm more people. I’m praying for
all those affected. I’m praying for our country.
I have not lost faith in my fellows or humanity. It is Obama and his
administration (and its surrogate, the media) – from whom the rest of
the country is supposed to take its cues – that has long since lost my
faith. I am hoping that more people are waking up and will help us
fight this. As events like the Hassan massacre and its
anything-but-swift justice, the Benghazi attack and Obama’s cover-up,
and now the Boston Marathon bombing take place, I hope more people will
wake as we sound the alarm that tyranny has its hands around our
collective throat and we must free ourselves before it is too late.
